Principles of Statistics for Engineers and Scientists offers the same crystal clear presentation of applied statistics as Bill Navidi's Statistics for Engineers and Scientists text, in a manner especially designed for the needs of a one-semester course that is focused on applications. By presenting ideas in the context of real-world data sets and with plentiful examples of computer output, the book is great for motivating students to understand the importance of statistics in their careers and their lives. The text features a unique approach highlighted by an engaging writing style that explains difficult concepts clearly and the use of contemporary real world data sets to help motivate students and show direct connections to industry and research. While focusing on practical applications of statistics, the text makes extensive use of examples to motivate fundamental concepts and to develop intuition.

Revised and expanded edition of a text that is intended as a basic introductory course in applied statistical methods for students of engineering and the physical sciences at the undergraduate level. Theoretical developments and mathematical treatment of the principles involved are included as needed for understanding of the validity of the techniques presented. The major changes in this edition are a new chapter on statistical process control and reliability, several added nonparametric techniques, and 30 added problems.

Introducing the tools of statistics and probability from the ground up An understanding of statistical tools is essential for engineers and scientists who often need to deal with data analysis over the course of their work. Statistics and Probability with Applications for Engineers and Scientists walks readers through a wide range of popular statistical techniques, explaining step-by-step how to generate, analyze, and interpret data for diverse applications in engineering and the natural sciences. Unique among books of this kind, Statistics and Probability with Applications for Engineers and Scientists covers descriptive statistics first, then goes on to discuss the fundamentals of probability theory. Along with case studies, examples, and real-world data sets, the book incorporates clear instructions on how to use the statistical packages Minitab® and Microsoft® Office Excel® to analyze various data sets. The book also features: • Detailed discussions on sampling distributions, statistical estimation of population parameters, hypothesis testing, reliability theory, statistical quality control including Phase I and Phase II control charts, and process capability indices • A clear presentation of nonparametric methods and simple and multiple linear regression methods, as well as a brief discussion on logistic regression method • Comprehensive guidance on the design of experiments, including randomized block designs, one- and two-way layout designs, Latin square designs, random effects and mixed effects models, factorial and fractional factorial designs, and response surface methodology • A companion website containing data sets for Minitab and Microsoft Office Excel, as well as JMP ® routines and results Assuming no background in probability and statistics, Statistics and Probability with Applications for Engineers and Scientists features a unique, yet tried-and-true, approach that is ideal for all undergraduate students as well as statistical practitioners who analyze and illustrate real-world data in engineering and the natural sciences.

Statistical methods are made easier for engineers and scientists in this highly respected interdisciplinary reference. Covering a broad spectrum of statistical methods used at intermediate and advanced levels, the second edition features new sections on additional graphical tools, acceptance sampling, and the uses of new software. Matching how-to procedures to specific disciplines simplifies the application. Coverage of each statistical principle is followed by an example of its application. Users gain vital guidance on survey sampling, computer simulation, design and analysis of experiments, and more. Guidelines for organizing and managing a statistical consulting firm are included.
